Stomp Backup

I am backing up an entire sytem with Stomp Backup My PC. The entire backup is about 20 gigs. It is backing up to a Western Digital 80 gig external USB hard drive. I cannot get the backup software to backup to one single file, it backups 4 gigs and then asks me to specify another file name because the previous media is full. It takes 4 files to complete backup. So this means that I cannot do an unattended backup over night cause when i come in, in the morning its prompting me to specify another media name cause the first one is full. Any ideas how to get it to do a scheduled backup unattended?

From Stomps support section:

Remote Backups Using the File Option

The option to back up to a remote volume is available using the File option on the device drop-down list. If the backup file size exceeds the 2GB or 4GB limitations for FAT formatted hard disks, Backup MyPC will continue your backup onto a second, linked file after prompting you to provide a name for this second file. This spanning process will continue, creating as many linked files as necessary, until your entire backup job is finished. This means the size of your file backup is limited only by the capacity of your backup devices. Consult the Microsoft operating system documentation for NTFS file size limitations.
